Finally changing the timing set...IT's Running again.

[4X4HIGH]

No it will not rub the cover.

 

[4X4HIGH]

Tell you what, i just checked and i have a good balancer here at my shop that is the exact one you currently have. I'll sell it to you for 30.00 plus shipping.

You Da Man

I am going to call one of Craigs fellow parts peddlers and spend all of my cash.

 

[4X4HIGH]

So do you want it then? Paypal me some cash [email protected] and i'll get it in the mail hopefully this afternoon. I just need to box it up and drop it off around the corner. Shoot me an addy also.

 

[readymix]

I don't have paypal.

You can get parts?

I know you rebuild engines, do you also work at a parts place?

 

[4X4HIGH]

Yes, we have a parts store in the front of my building. This balancer i have here is a good used one. If you want it i'll send it out and give you a total (no more than $40.00 shipped) and you can send me a check.

 

[readymix]

Don't want to break the rules.
PM on the way

 

[4X4HIGH]

Oops, my bad. Started getting too involved and forgot where i was typing.

New question...

What are the best valve cover gaskets to use?
Rubber or Cork?

 

[sandawgk5]

What timing set did you get? Are you gonna fix that oil leak while you are in there? .

And how did you crack a rib? Did you get a little over zelous during the season?

I got the Cloyes C3023SXP HD double Roller. Paid $24 at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

And yes I did crack a rib during the season.....and yes the LSUG's were there when it happened.....but no it was not anything out of line.


I know part of the oil leak was from the timing seal, the rest of it I am not sure about. It could be from the valve covers, intake or rear main seal.
I pulled the valve covers, and I think the passenger side was leaking. I'll get that ixed up. If it is the intake I might do it, but if it is the rear main.....I will just add oil.

I like cork myself, never had very good luck with the rubber gaskets on the valve covers, and also i like to use the valve cover stud kit. makes placing and keeping the gasket in place a snap

You dont wanna pull your 465 with a cracked rib to change the rear main out?

I hate chasing oil leaks. I am still trying to find the one from my PS system .

I need new hardware for the valve covers anyway. The stupid torx bit stripped 6 out of 8 bolts out.
I have never seen studs...I was going to just use some bolts. I'll check the local parts houses.

Mine uses bolts

Dik

 

[readymix]

Mine is about to.....

 

[ShiftyK5]

Its like $10 for the stud kit at oreilys, Mr. Gasket brand

 

[readymix]

I can afford that. We'll see what the bolts cost. Cheaper is better for this truck...

 

[readymix]

I am going to start the re-assembly today. Wish me luck and patience....more for the latter.
